Ok shouldnt have to tell people here but just to raise awareness.

I recieved my 1st fake Customer Service Email requesting account information regarding SWTOR. Below is the Email I receieved.

Be aware who you give your account data to and rememebr just because it may look legit 99% of the time its just a well orcastrated scam.

That is a VERY CUNNING web address.
A lot of people WILL be duped into that thinking that "login-asp.in" is not part of the domain. (.in is India).
